But Shen Ping thought about it and found it funny. Now that the rice seedlings had grown several dozen centimeters tall, it would be difficult for her to be discovered if she squatted here.

The rain has stopped in the past two days, and the fields are full of vitality, green everywhere. Shen Ping closed her eyes and took a breath of fresh air.

It is early morning now. The air is fresh after the rain, and coupled with the fragrance of the rice seedlings, it is a natural oxygen bar.

I never dreamed that I would grow so much rice, let alone that I now have more than 20 acres of land.

But this is far from enough. Later, Shen Ping wants to buy more land.

There are now more than twenty long servants in the house, plus a dozen people at home, which makes a total of more than 30 people.

A lot of food is needed every day, and there are more than ten farmhands. It is more than enough for this young and strong man to cultivate 20 acres of land.

I buy them not out of kindness, but to improve efficiency and create value.

Land is the root of farmers. Nowadays, owning more land is equivalent to being a landlord, and only then can one find ways to create wealth.

And she not only wants to do business, she also wants to create more wealth through agriculture.

Because all the business she is doing now is closely related to land, she has even bolder ideas.

She not only wanted to live a good life for herself, she also wanted to use her advantage of knowing some things in the future to lead the villagers to a well-off life.

Of course, it is impossible to become fat in one go. You have to take it step by step and do it slowly.

People began to arrive at the fields one after another, and when they saw Shen Ping, they all greeted her enthusiastically. Now Shen Ping was like a god in their hearts.

"Mrs. Dachun, why do you come to the fields so early in the morning? Don't you have so many farmhands in your family? Why do you need to do it yourself?" The nosy women started gossiping.

"Yes, if I were you, I would definitely sit at home and count the money."

Shen Ping smiled slightly and pretended to be profound: "You don't know this, I am talking to my high-yield rice seeds! I want them to work hard and strive to produce 1500 kilograms per mu."

"1500 pounds!!!"

The women watching gasped and spoke at the same time. They stared at Shen Ping with wide eyes, as if they didn't know her.

"Mrs. Dachun, it's daytime now. Are you daydreaming?" Aunt Big Foot said in surprise.

"I just can't guarantee a yield of 1500 catties per mu, so I came to discuss with the rice seedlings and let them compete with me to strive for a yield of 1500 catties per mu." Shen Ping said seriously.

Seeing how confidently and convincingly she spoke, everyone began to be skeptical.

"Oh! But~"

Shen Ping glanced around at everyone and kept everyone in suspense.

"Just what?"

Aunt Big Foot couldn't help but ask.

Shen Ping pretended to be helpless and said, "I was just discussing it with them, and they were about to agree, but you interrupted me. I have to start discussing it with them again."

"Ah~"

Everyone was dumbfounded! Although they didn't know whether what Shen Ping said was true or false, they would rather believe it than not.

Shen Ping's influence among the villagers is now very strong. Moreover, it was she who brought out the high-yield rice seeds. The villagers who were skeptical just now are now anxious.

Aunt Cai said anxiously, "Mrs. Dachun, we won't bother you anymore. You can go find the rice seedlings and have a discussion with them. Let them work hard and produce more food for us. What do you think?"

"Yep!"

Everyone nodded in unison. Aunt Big Foot smiled awkwardly and said cautiously, "Then we'll leave first. You can continue chatting with it." Then she told everyone to leave quickly.

Seeing them trying to avoid her in time, Shen Ping smiled secretly, finally her ears were quiet. Just now, there were a lot of people around, and her ears were buzzing.

"Madam, Madam~"

A voice came from far away.

Shen Ping turned her head and saw a dark green figure running down the village road along the ridge of the field.

Shen Ping took a closer look and found that it was the maid Lanhua, who was running towards her in a hurry and appeared in front of her in a short while.

"Madam~" Lanhua ran out of breath.

Shen Ping said casually: "What's the matter? You look so anxious. Take a breath first."

After a long while, Lanhua took a breath and continued, "The old lady came to see you and said she wanted to discuss something with you. It seemed urgent! Uncle Dadong said you were in the field and asked me to come and see you."

"Old lady?" Shen Ping looked puzzled: "Which old lady?"

Shen Ping's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that something happened at her mother's house? Maybe her mother was coming over?

Looking at Shen Ping's expression, Lanhua realized that she had not explained it clearly, and quickly said, "Oh, Madam, it's all my fault for not explaining it clearly. It was your mother-in-law who came and said she had something to discuss with you."

"Okay, I got it!"

Shen Ping really couldn't understand why Li would come to her for something urgent. Could it be because of money?

"impossible!"

As soon as this thought came up, Shen Ping rejected her own idea.

Now Zhang Tiezhu works as a manager in a chili workshop, and his brother Zhang Daniu helps him collect pig offal.

As for the first wife, Mrs. Xie, and the third wife, Mrs. Jiang, they both served as team leaders in their own workshops.

This large family now has five sources of income, and this month they earn more than two taels of silver, which in the past was equivalent to a year's income.

By this calculation, there would be more than 20 taels of silver for the year. If this family lived on a normal diet, they would only have at most one tael of silver a year.

In this way, they could save more than ten or twenty taels of silver a year. Such a life was much better than before, so Shen Ping guessed that it couldn't be about the money.

As soon as Shen Ping turned the corner, she saw her mother-in-law, Mrs. Li, standing at the gate of the courtyard, craning her neck to look at the intersection. When she saw her, her face immediately broke into a smile.

It seems that this matter is quite urgent! Shen Ping's lips curled up. She wanted to see what her mother-in-law would ask her for.

"Oh, second son's wife, you're finally back!" Mrs. Li clapped her hands with joy.

"I heard from them that you went to the fields. Since there are servants at home, just let them do it. There is no need for you," Li spoke again before Shen Ping approached.

Shen Ping was really not used to her mother-in-law being so enthusiastic towards her. She twitched her lips and said indifferently, "Mom, why are you here? What's wrong?"

"Haha~"

Seeing Shen Ping's indifferent expression towards her, Li chuckled twice, her expression a little unnatural: "It's not a big deal, but I really have to find you for this matter. It can't be done without you."

"Oh?" Shen Ping raised her eyebrows: "Let's go inside and talk!"

She wanted to see what her mother-in-law wanted to say!
